a) 1001 No.of significant digits = 4
b) 100.1 No.of significant digits = 4
c) 100.10 No.of significant digits = 5
d) 0.001001 No.of significant digits = 4
31. The metre scale is graduated at every millimeter.
1 m = 100 mm
The minimum no.of significant digit may be 1 (e.g. for measurements like 5 mm, 7 mm etc) and the
maximum no.of significant digits may be 4 (e.g.1000 mm)
So, the no.of significant digits may be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
32. a) In the value 3472, after the digit 4, 7 is present. Its value is greater than 5.
So, the next two digits are neglected and the value of 4 is increased by 1.
 value becomes 3500
b) value = 84
c) 2.6
d) value is 28.
33. Given that, for the cylinder
Length = l = 4.54 cm, radius = r = 1.75 cm
2 2
r
Volume = r l =   (4.54)  (1.75)
l
Since, the minimum no.of significant digits on a particular term is 3, the result should have
3 significant digits and others rounded off.
2 3
So, volume V = r l = (3.14)  (1.75)  (1.75)  (4.54) = 43.6577 cm
3
Since, it is to be rounded off to 3 significant digits, V = 43.7 cm .
34. We know that,
2.17  2.17  2.18
Average thickness = = 2.1733 mm
3
Rounding off to 3 significant digits, average thickness = 2.17 mm.
35. As shown in the figure,
Actual effective length = (90.0 + 2.13) cm
90cm
But, in the measurement 90.0 cm, the no. of significant digits is only 2.
So, the addition must be done by considering only 2 significant digits of each
measurement. 2.13cm

So, effective length = 90.0 + 2.1 = 92.1 cm.

From the figure, it can be said AB is horizontal. So there is no effect of vertical component of
the velocity during this displacement.
So because the body moves at a constant speed of ‘u cos ’ in horizontal direction.
The average velocity during this displacement will be u cos  in the horizontal

aeroplane.
Suppose the aeroplane move making angle  with horizontal. For both bomb and
aeroplane, horizontal distance is u cos  t. t is time for bomb to reach the ground.

Acceleration ‘–a’ downward i.e. ‘a’ upward.
The block & the monkey move in the same direction with equal acceleration.
If initially they are rest (no force is exertied by monkey) no motion of monkey of block occurs as they
have same weight (same mass). Their separation will not change as time passes.
38. Suppose A move upward with acceleration a, such that in the tail of A maximum tension 30N produced.

 T = 50 + 30 +(5 × 5) = 105 N (max)  30 – 20 – 2a = 0  a = 5 m/s
So, A can apply a maximum force of 105 N in the rope to carry the monkey B with it.

 Chapter-5
For minimum force there is no acceleration of monkey ‘A’ and B.  a = 0
Now equation (ii) is T1 – 2g = 0  T1 = 20 N (wt. of monkey B)
Equation (i) is T – 5g – 20 = 0 [As T1 = 20 N]
 T = 5g + 20 = 50 + 20 = 70 N.
 The monkey A should apply force between 70 N and 105 N to carry the monkey B with it.
39. (i) Given, Mass of man = 60 kg.
Let R = apparent weight of man in this case. T T
Now, R + T – 60g = 0 [From FBD of man]

From eqn (i) and eqn (ii) we get T = 2T – 1800  T = 1800N.

a) When the 10N force applied on 2kg block, it experiences maximum frictional force
R1 =  × 2kg = (0.2) × 20 = 4N from the 3kg block.
So, the 2kg block experiences a net force of 10 – 4 = 6N
2
So, a1 = 6/2 = 3 m/s
But for the 3kg block, (fig-3) the frictional force from 2kg block (4N) becomes the driving force and the
maximum frictional force between 3kg and 7 kg block is
2R2 = (0.3) × 5kg = 15N
So, the 3kg block cannot move relative to the 7kg block. The 3kg block and 7kg block both will have
same acceleration (a2 = a3) which will be due to the 4N force because there is no friction from the floor.

b) When the 10N force is applied to the 3kg block, it can experience maximum frictional force of 15 + 4

So, it can not move with respect to them.
As the floor is frictionless, all the three bodies will move together
2
 a1 = a2 = a3 = 10/12 = (5/6)m/s
c) Similarly, it can be proved that when the 10N force is applied to the 7kg block, all the three blocks will
move together.

Subtracting values of F & T, we get

Both blocks move with this acceleration but in opposite directions.

Maximum horizontal force that can be applied is 2(mg – QE).

27. Because the block slips on the table, maximum frictional force acts on it.
From the free body diagram
R = mg m
 F –  R = 0  F = R =  mg
But the table is at rest. So, frictional force at the legs of the table is not  R1. Let be mg R

R1 – ma = 0  R1 = ma ...(i)
Again, 2ma + T – mg + 1R1 = 0

From free body diagram-2
T + 1R1 + mg – R2 =0
 R2 = T + 1 ma + Mg [Putting the value of R1 from (i)]

R2 = Mg + mg – 2ma …(iii)
Again, form the free body diagram -2
T + T – R – Ma –2R2 = 0
 2T – MA – mA – 2 (Mg + mg – 2ma) = 0 [Putting the values of R1 and R2 from (i) and (iii)]
 2T = (M + m) + 2(Mg + mg – 2ma) ...(iv)
From equation (ii) and (iv)
2T = 2 mg – 2(2 + 1)mg = (M + m)a + 2(Mg + mg – 2ma)

So, the block will move at an angle 53 ° with an 15N force

components, v cos  normal to the sphere and v sin  tangential to the sphere.
After the collision, they will exchange their velocities. So, the spherical body will have a velocity v cos 
and the particle will not have any component of velocity in this direction.

Since R and mg cos  pass through the centre of the cube, there will be no torque 
due to R and mg cos . The only torque will be produced by mg sin .

22. A rod of mass m and length L, lying horizontally, is free to rotate about a vertical axis passing through its
centre.
A force F is acting perpendicular to the rod at a distance L/4 from the centre.
Therefore torque about the centre due to this force A t =sec
ii = F × r = FL/4.
This torque will produce a angular acceleration .
Therefore c = Ic ×  A B
2 2
 ic = (mL / 12) ×  (Ic of a rod = mL / 12) 1/4
2 F
 F i/4 = (mL / 12) ×    = 3F/ml

Therefore  = 1/2 t (initially at rest)

25. A flywheel of moment of inertia 5 kg m is rotated at a speed of 60 rad/s. The flywheel comes to rest due
to the friction at the axle after 5 minutes.
Therefore, the angular deceleration produced due to frictional force =  = 0 + t
 0 = –t ( = 0+
2
  = –(60/5 × 60) = –1/5 rad/s .

a) Therefore total workdone in stopping the wheel by frictional force
2
W = 1/2 i = 1/2 × 5 × (60 × 60) = 9000 Joule = 9 KJ.
b) Therefore torque produced by the frictional force (R) is
IR = I ×  = 5 × (–1/5) = IN – m opposite to the rotation of wheel.
c) Angular velocity after 4 minutes
  = 0 + t = 60 – 240/5 = 12 rad/s

Therefore angular momentum about the centre = 1 ×  = 5 × 12 = 60 kg-m /s.

26. The earth’s angular speed decreases by 0.0016 rad/day in 100 years.
Therefore the torque produced by the ocean water in decreasing earth’s angular velocity
 = I

27. A wheel rotating at a speed of 600 rpm.
0 = 600 rpm = 10 revolutions per second.
T = 10 sec. (In 10 sec. it comes to rest)
=0
Therefore 0 = –t
2
  = –10/10 = –1 rev/s
  = 0 + t = 10 – 1 × 5 = 5 rev/s.
2
Therefore angular deacceleration = 1 rev/s and angular velocity of after 5 sec is 5 rev/s.
28.  = 100 rev/min = 5/8 rev/s = 10/3 rad/s
 = 10 rev = 20  rad, r = 0.2 m
After 10 revolutions the wheel will come to rest by a tangential force
2
Therefore the angular deacceleration produced by the force =  =  /2
Therefore the torque by which the wheel will come to an rest = Icm × 
2 2
 F × r = Icm ×   F × 0.2 = 1/2 mr × [(10/3) / (2 × 20)]
2
 F = 1/2 × 10 × 0.2 × 100  / (9 × 2 × 20)

29. A cylinder is moving with an angular velocity 50 rev/s brought in contact with another identical cylinder
2
in rest. The first and second cylinder has common acceleration and deacceleration as 1 rad/s
respectively.
Let after t sec their angular velocity will be same ‘’.
For the first cylinder  = 50 – t
 t = ( – 50)/–1 50 rev/s
nd
And for the 2 cylinder  = 2t
 t = /I
So,  = ( – 50)/–1
 2 = 50   = 25 rev/s.
 t = 25/1 sec = 25 sec.
30. Initial angular velocity = 20 rad/s
2
Therefore  = 2 rad/s
 t1 = /1 = 20/2 = 10 sec
Therefore 10 sec it will come to rest.
Since the same torque is continues to act on the body it will produce same angular acceleration and
since the initial kinetic energy = the kinetic energy at a instant.
So initial angular velocity = angular velocity at that instant
Therefore time require to come to that angular velocity,
t2 = 2/2 = 20/2 = 10 sec
therefore time required = t1 + t2 = 20 sec.

81. A uniform wheel of radius R is set into rotation about its axis (case-I) at an angular speed 
This rotating wheel is now placed on a rough horizontal. Because of its friction at contact, the wheel
accelerates forward and its rotation decelerates. As the rotation decelerates the frictional force will act
backward.
If we consider the net moment at A then it is zero.
Therefore the net angular momentum before pure rolling & after pure rolling remains
constant 
Before rolling the wheel was only rotating around its axis.
2
Therefore Angular momentum = ℓ  = (1/2) MR  …(1) (1st case)
After pure rolling the velocity of the wheel let v
Therefore angular momentum = ℓcm  + m(V × R)

Because, Eq(1) and (2) are equal 

background direction, for which after some time the shell attains a pure rolling. If we

Therefore, the initial angular momentum = the angular momentum after rotation stops (i.e. only leniar
velocity exits)
MV × R – ℓ  = MVO × R w=V/R v
2
 MVR – 2/5 × MR V / R = MVO R
 VO = 3V/5

b) Again, after some time pure rolling starts
2
therefore  M × vo × R = (2/5) MR × (V/R) + MVR
 m × (3V/5) × R = (2/5) MVR + MVR
 V = 3V/7
86. When the solid sphere collides with the wall, it rebounds with velocity ‘v’ towards left but it continues to
rotate in the clockwise direction.
2
So, the angular momentum = mvR – (2/5) mR × v/R
v
After rebounding, when pure rolling starts let the velocity be v
and the corresponding angular velocity is v / R v
V/R
2
Therefore angular momentum = mvR + (2/5) mR (v/R)
2 2
So, mvR – (2/5) mR , v/R = mvR + (2/5) mR (v/R)
mvR × (3/5) = mvR × (7/5)
v = 3v/7
So, the sphere will move with velocity 3v/7.

Given, r1 = 3cm, r2 = 4cm and  = phase difference.
Resultant amplitude = R = r12  r2 2  2r1r2 cos 
a) When  = 0°,

Resultant amplitude = Vector sum of the three vectors A

a) At t = 0.0125s,
x = 2 [sin (100× 0.0125) + sin (120 ×0.0125 + /3)]

42. Let there be ‘n’ loops in the 1 case l
 length of the wire, l = (n1)/2 [1 = 2  2 = 4 cm]
So there are (n + 1) loops with the 2nd case
 length of the wire, l = {(n+1)2/2 [ = 2  1.6 = 3.2 cm] 2 cm

(n  1) 2 l

 n  4 = (n + 1) (3.2)  n = 4
 length of the string, l = (n1)/2 = 8 cm. 1.6 cm
43. Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 660 Hz
Wave speed, v = 220 m/s   = v/f = 1/3 m
No.of loops = 3
a) So, f = (3/2l)v  l = 50 cm
b) The equation of resultant stationary wave is given by
y = 2A cos (2x/Ql) sin (2vt/) l
–1 –1
 y = (0.5 cm) cos (0.06  cm ) sin (1320 s t)
44. l1 = 30 cm = 0.3 m
f1 = 196 Hz, f2 = 220 Hz
We know f  (1/l) (as V is constant for a medium)

45. Fundamental frequency f1 = 200 Hz
Let l4 Hz be nth harmonic
 F2/F1 = 14000/200
 NF1/F1 = 70  N = 70
th
 The highest harmonic audible is 70 harmonic.
46. The resonant frequencies of a string are
f1 = 90 Hz, f2 = 150 Hz, f3 = 120 Hz
a) The highest possible fundamental frequency of the string is f = 30 Hz
[because f1, f2 and f3 are integral multiple of 30 Hz]
b) The frequencies are f1 = 3f, f2 = 5f, f3 = 7f
rd th th
So, f1, f2 and f3 are 3 harmonic, 5 harmonic and 7 harmonic respectively.
c) The frequencies in the string are f, 2f, 3f, 4f, 5f, ……….

So, 3f = 2 overtone and 3 harmonic
th th
5f = 4 overtone and 5 harmonic
7f = 6th overtone and 7th harmonic
d) length of the string is l = 80 cm
 f1 = (3/2l)v (v = velocity of the wave)
 90 = {3/(280)}  K
 K = (90  2  80) / 3 = 4800 cm/s = 48 m/s.

 Tr = 12 N and Tl = 48 N
Now taking moment about point A,
Tr  (0.4) = 48x + 12 (0.2)  x = 5 cm
So, the mass should be placed at a distance 5 cm from the left end.

same mass per unit length, velocity of wave in both of them is same.
 v = T / m  500/7 m/x
For minimum frequency there would be maximum wavelength for maximum wavelength minimum no of
loops are to be produced.
 maximum distance of a loop = 20 cm
 wavelength =  = 2  20 = 40 cm = 0.4 m
 f = v/ = 180 Hz.
50. Fundamental frequency
V = 1/2l T / m  T / m = v2l [ T / m = velocity of wave]
a) wavelength,  = velocity / frequency = v2l / v = 2l
and wave number = K = 2/ = 2/2l = /l
b) Therefore, equation of the stationary wave is
 y = A cos (2x/) sin (2Vt / L) L
= A cos (2x / 2l) sin (2Vt / 2L)
v = V/2L [because v = (v/2l)]
51. V = 200 m/s, 2A = 0.5 m
a) The string is vibrating in its 1st overtone

y = (0.4 cm) sin [(0.314 cm – 1)x] cos [(6.00 s )t]
a)  = 600   2f = 600   f = 300 Hz
wavelength,  = 2/0.314 = (2  3.14) / 0.314 = 20 cm
0 10 20 30
b) Therefore nodes are located at, 0, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm
c) Length of the string = 3/2 = 3  20/2 = 30 cm l
d) y = 0.4 sin (0.314 x) cos (600 t)  0.4 sin {(/10)x} cos (600 t)

mass per unit length = m = 0.08/2 = 0.04 kg/m
Tension T = 256 N l = /4
Velocity, V = T / m = 80 m/s Initial position
For fundamental frequency,
l = /4   = 4l = 8 m
 f = 80/8 = 10 Hz
st
a) Therefore, the frequency of 1 two overtones are
st
1 overtone = 3f = 30 Hz
nd
2 overtone = 5f = 50 Hz
b) 1 = 4l = 8 m Final position
1 = V/ f1 = 2.67 m
2 = V/f2 = 1.6 mt
so, the wavelengths are 8 m, 2.67 m and 1.6 m respectively.
57. Initially because the end A is free, an antinode will be formed.
So, l = Ql1 / 4
Again, if the movable support is pushed to right by 10 m, so that the joint is placed on the pulley, a node
will be formed there.
So, l = 2 / 2
Since, the tension remains same in both the cases, velocity remains same.
As the wavelength is reduced by half, the frequency will become twice as that of 120 Hz i.e. 240 Hz.

Let OP = D, PQ = y   = y/R …(1)
Now path difference is given by, x = S2Q – S1Q = yd/D
Where d = 2m
[The proof of x = yd/D is discussed in interference of light waves]
a) For minimum intensity, x = (2n + 1)(/2)
 yd/D = /2 [for minimum y, x = /2]
 y/D =  = /2 = 0.55 / 4 = 0.1375 rad = 0.1375 × (57.1)° = 7.9°
b) For minimum intensity, x = 2n(/2)
yd/D =   y/D =  = /D = 0.55/2 = 0.275 rad
  = 16°
c) For more maxima,
yd/D = 2, 3, 4, …
 y/D =  = 32°, 64°, 128°
But since, the maximum value of  can be 90°, he will hear two more maximum i.e. at 32° and 64°.

Because the 3 sources have equal intensity, amplitude are equal 120°

So, A1 = A2 = A3

So, the resultant, intensity at B is zero. A3
33. The two sources of sound S1 and S2 vibrate at same phase and frequency.

Resultant intensity at P = I0
a) Let the amplitude of the waves at S1 and S2 be ‘r’.
When  = 45°, path difference = S1P – S2P = 0 (because S1P = S2P)
So, when source is switched off, intensity of sound at P is I0/4.  
b) When  = 60°, path difference is also 0. S1 S2
Similarly it can be proved that, the intensity at P is I0 / 4 when one is switched off.

So, the harmonies are
f3 = 3 × 340 = 1020 Hz
f5 = 5 × 340 = 1700, f6 = 6 × 340 = 2040 Hz
so, the possible frequencies are between 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz are 1020, 1360, 1700.

We know that

So, v = n = 0.84 × 400 = 336 m/s
We know from above that,

Here given n = 3.8 km/s = 3800 m/s
We know  v = n  n = 3800 / 2 = 1.9 kH.

55. A tuning fork produces 4 beats with a known tuning fork whose frequency = 256 Hz
So the frequency of unknown tuning fork = either 256 – 4 = 252 or 256 + 4 = 260 Hz
Now as the first one is load its mass/unit length increases. So, its frequency decreases.
As it produces 6 beats now original frequency must be 252 Hz.
260 Hz is not possible as on decreasing the frequency the beats decrease which is not allowed here.

By shortening the wire the frequency increases, [f = (1/ 2l) (TB / M) ]
As the vibrating wire produces 4 beats with 256 Hz, its frequency must be 252 Hz or 260 Hz.
Its frequency must be 252 Hz, because beat frequency decreases by shortening the wire.

We know, when the transparent paper is pasted in one of the slits, the optical path changes by ( – 1)t.

  < 90° – c   < cos–1(2/3)
So, the largest angle for which light is totally reflected at the surface is cos–1(2/3).
28. From the definition of critical angle, if refracted angle is more than 90°, then reflection occurs, which is
known as total internal reflection.
So, maximum angle of refraction is 90°.

The angle of deviation due to refraction from glass to air increases as the angle of incidence increases
from 0° to 40°48. The angle of deviation due to total internal reflection further increases for 40°48 to
45° and then it decreases.

Here, if the angle of incidence is increased beyond critical angle, total internal T=90°
reflection occurs and deviation decreases. So, the range of deviation is 0 to water

31. Since,  = 1.5, Critial angle = sin (1/) = sin (1/1.5) = 41.8°
We know, the maximum attainable deviation in refraction is (90° – 41.8°) = 47.2°
So, in this case, total internal reflection must have taken place.
In reflection,
Deviation = 180° – 2i = 90°  2i = 90°  i = 45°.

Now, m = i + i – A
 60° = i + i – 60° ( = 60° minimum deviation)
 i = 60°. So, the angle of incidence must be 60°.
